Mark Heffner Email & Phone Number

Much of Mark’s work involves seeking to preserve an elder’s assets from the devastating cost of nursing home care. He also focuses on working with clients to ensure that they have put mechanisms in place to enable someone of their choosing to make financial and health care decisions when they are unable to do so themselves. He also helps clients ensure that upon their death, their assets pass as smoothly as possible to those they choose.Mark also works with the children, spouses, and other loved ones of those many elders who have not planned in advance. When needed, he guides these clients through the process of probate court, whether in guardianship while the elder is living, or in a decedent estate after passing. Twenty-five years of working with older Rhode Islanders and their families has taught Mark that it is never too late to produce a good result, even when there has been no advance planning.
